	Gosh Chris, are you flaming about someone flaming?

	You might argue about the constructiveness of the article in
question but there is no reason in the world why it shouldn't be posted
here nor is there any better place to post the comments.  My own views
tend to lean towards agreement with most of Mr. Ragheb's remarks.  IBM
has left it's costomers high and dry on several occassions and probably
will again.  For those who bought the screaming PC's, the "advanced
technology" PC-AT, PC-RT or the astounding XT286 should feel slighted
at best, ripped off at worst.  The clones generally have been a superior
product at far better prices.  I believe that IBM will continue to produce
mediocre to poor products at high to outrageous prices.  And you can
tune in here to hear the complaints.
